I wouldn't go as far as saying that it's ruining the game. however football was doing fine without it, it hasn't eliminate controversy and I'd be happy if it were scrapped completely.
Worth remembering that Newcastle's goal yesterday would have been given without var too.
For what it worth, I think the ball was in, but it was a foul.
I do wonder if it would help if the rule were of any part of the ball crosses the line it's considered out? Just increase pitches by the diameter of the ball.
The current rule depends on linesmen being able to see the far side of the ball from where they have to stand. Wouldn't help much with goal line decisions, but maybe with side lines.
